High CAC

I was found to have a CAC of 1288 accidentally. Anything over 1000 is considered to be dangerously high.


  1. Not really. They scheduled me for a echocardiagram in six weeks. I called another hospital who can get me in this week. My people didn't want me to do that because (it will take them too long to give them the results). So I told them to Fax over the order anyway. I don't want to upset my team, but icks.

    1. I'm so glad you reached out and advocated for yourself. It's not always easy to take an action to jumpstart your care, but sometimes it's the best answer. We all deserve a medical team that will take our concerns seriously and in a timely fashion. Your team will get over their annoyance, and you will get the answers you need without the wait. I hope this improves your working relationship with your medical team. All the best, Kathy (Team member)

  2. It's frightening to get a scary diagnosis! Do you feel comfortable with your medical team and how they are treating you? Warmly, Kathy (Team member)
